'Pulp Fiction' Tarantino Spectacle with Cheap Fakes

Overview

Ladies and gentlemen, now the moment you've all been waiting for — and yes, it includes the world famous Jack Rabbit Slims twist contest. When Chuck Berry's 'You Never Can Tell' starts pumping through 2023's Wynnum Fringe, you know what kind of dance moves you're going to bust out.

It's been almost 30 years since Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction first hit the big screen, and just as long since fans first caught its stellar soundtrack, which includes everything from surf rock to Dusty Springfield's 'Son of a Preacher Man'. If the record has been one of your go-to listening staples over the past three decades, then you'll want to celebrate it with Cheap Fakes. Even better — the band will be performing the album live as an eight-piece (while you dance like Uma Thurman to 'Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon', obviously).

The smooth sounds of Al Green's 'Let's Stay Together', the funk of Kool & the Gang's 'Jungle Boogie' and the upbeat country twang of The Statler Brothers' 'Flowers on the Wall' will all get a whirl, too. To complete the experience, a big screen will be set up, playing themed visuals.

It all goes down like a $5 shake on Friday, November 24 at the Wynnum Opera House that's part of the George Clayton Park hub for the fest — and because Tarantino's skill with soundtracks isn't just limited to one film, expect tunes from his other movies, too.
